Review

I simply adored this story of an older generation finding love! It was a lot of fun watching Crazy Maggie fall in love, and Edgar finally standing up to his bossy mother! Autumn always manages to sprinkle just the right amount of sweetness to her stories!

From the Author

Maggie, the quirky heroine of this story, and Edgar, the heeir to the department store, bnoth appeared in Book 2, Believe in Me, then demanded their own story! I loved writing this story of two very different people finding unexpected love in their fifties. I hope you'll enjoy reading it.Autumn x

Maggie Golding has always been creative, and years ago, she used to be a bit wild. Because of what happened in her past, she never expected to fall in love and never wanted to. But Edgar Pettett, owner of the London store where she does the window dressings, inched into her heart before she knew it. Two people couldn’t be any more different. Where she’s bright, flamboyant, and different, he’s starched, formal, rich, and conforming. Can two such different people find a way to make a relationship work? Maybe with the help of God.

I’ve enjoyed all the books in this series, but this one is definitely the sweetest and most heartwarming. The problems to solve are there, but there’s not so much angst and upheaval, and that’s refreshing for a change. This one’s a keeper.

A great story. Nice to read story where an older couple are blessed to meet and find happiness. Maggie and Ed were probably complete opposites, but we're attracted to one another from the beginning. I would give it 5 stars
